An account is given of observations on the biology of Tabanids, mainly of the genus Hybomitra, in three areas of the Gila Forest, New Mexico. The rates of infection with larvae of Elaeophora schneideri [a filarial parasite of sheep] were 15% in the northern and north-western area, 23.3% in the central and southern area and 8.6% in the eastern and south-eastern area.
